To calculate the amount of interest paid during the fifth year of depreciation, you multiply the remaining principal by the interest rate. Assuming linear depreciation, the principal amount reduces uniformly.

Calculate the remaining principal before the fifth year and apply the interest:

Interest=Remaining Principal×Interest Rate\text{Interest} = \text{Remaining Principal} \times \text{Interest Rate}Interest=Remaining Principal×Interest Rate

Since this question doesn't provide the explicit principal amount for the fifth year, using standard practice for such questions, we estimate the value. Given the options,C. $1,260.00seems consistent with typical capital recovery calculations.

Given Scenario:

The company needs to have $100,000 in five years, and you need to determine how much should be invested at the end of each year.

This involves calculating the annuity payment using the formula:

P=FV×r(1+r)n−1P = \frac{FV \times r}{(1 + r)^n - 1}P=(1+r)n−1FV×r​

where:

FV=100,000FV = 100,000FV=100,000

r=0.10r = 0.10r=0.10

n=5n = 5n=5

P=100,000×0.10(1+0.10)5−1=10,0000.61051≈15,937P = \frac{100,000 \times 0.10}{(1 + 0.10)^5 - 1} = \frac{10,000}{0.61051} \approx 15,937P=(1+0.10)5−1100,000×0.10​=0.6105110,000​≈15,937

Answer:A. $15,937

The equivalent value of an investment alternative in today's dollars is referred to asNet Present Worth (NPW)or Net Present Value (NPV). NPW is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. It is a standard method used in capital budgeting to evaluate the profitability of an investment or project. By discounting future cash flows to the present value using the cost of capital, NPW provides a measure of how much value an investment is expected to add in today's terms.
